Today's Weather Trivia:
8 April
1815: It was a time when people walked a lot more or travelled by
stagecoach. Stagecoaches served the travel needs of local people and carried
mail between communities. These horse-drawn carriages ran regularly,
reaching speeds of up to 10 km an hour, depending on the steepness of the
roads and the weather. In winter, they were fitted with sleigh
unners. -Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather

Aldebaran, the bright orange "eye" of Taurus, the bull, is close to the left
of the Moon this evening. Aldebaran is well into the "giant" phase of its
life, so it has puffed up like a big balloon.
